Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. While the
The primary focus must be the underside of the vehicle. The April 2023 MOT explicitly states the chassis has corrosion 'all over', which is a critical point for any buyer. A professional independent inspection is essential to determine if the structural integrity is compromised beyond the MOT's 'not significantly reduced' assessment.
Check for any evidence of recent welding or rust-proofing treatments. You should also use the advisories regarding worn front brake discs, pads, and front wheel bearings as a basis for price negotiation, as these components likely require immediate replacement.
The 2.8L diesel engine is a large-capacity unit, meaning fuel consumption will be high, particularly in urban environments. Tax for a 2001 diesel of this size falls into a higher emissions bracket, and insurance costs will vary based on the driver's profile but typically reflect the vehicle's size and weight.
Maintenance costs are likely to be substantial. Beyond routine servicing, the MOT history suggests a need for suspension work (trailing arm bushes) and ongoing rust mitigation to prevent the chassis corrosion from worsening. Estimated annual running costs are high due to these factors.
Conduct a thorough inspection of the chassis and wheel arches. The MOT history from 2022 and 2023 specifically identifies corrosion on the front inner arch, rear inner arch, and the chassis near the body mounts. Use a torch and a probe to check the depth of the rust in these areas.
Additionally, check for play in the front wheel bearings and inspect the condition of the front brake discs and pads, both of which were flagged as worn or pitted in the 2023 test. Finally, check the rear trailing arm bushes, which were noted as deteriorated in the 2022 record.
This blue 2001 Mitsubishi Shogun has recorded 175,028 miles. The MOT history reveals a recurring theme of structural corrosion, including the chassis, front inner arch, and rear inner arch. Recent records also highlight wear on the front braking system and play in the front wheel bearings.
The Shogun has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with corrosion listed as one of the top three most common reasons for failure across the model range.
